This is indeed Coleus blumei as said by Gurcharan ji . I have a lot of them in my terrace garden i love their leaf colour hence a bit fond of them.

Dear Balkhar Ji,

Balkar ji and Tanay ji

I think Balkar ji's Chitrakoot Coleus is correctly Plectranthus amboinicus (Lour.) Spreng. (syn: Coleus amboinicus Lour., C. aromaticus Benth.). The plant was uploaded by me from Herbal Garden Delhi, and discussed on this group thoroughly. It is locally known as Patharchor (Hindi), Patherchur (Beng), Puthurchur (Mar.), Karpuravalli (Tam.), Indian Borage, Country Borage, Indian mint, Mexican mint (English).

   Balkar ji, I again request you to upload different plants in different threads. You can always give link in different thread.
